Nursery Rhymes
« on: September 16, 2014, 04:31:54 am »
I read a discussion on the web on nursery rhymes, those little songs every kid knows, and it made me curious about how they sound around the globe.

I'll probably know the US ones thanks to Hollywood (but then again, you might surprise me). I'm very interested by the ones not in English since I never heard any in Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, German, etc.

Quebec shares most of its nursery rhymes with France but here's one every kids here know that French kids certainly don't (I have no clue if kids in other provinces do).

It's called Ani couni chaouani and it's a prayer in the Iroquois language.
